an ode to the written word

black ink, splattered upon,
the white paper,
tainted by the lines of blue.
its your decision..
to stay bound,
or not.

an entire non-existant,
written for you.
to attempt to explain,
how i feel,
or not.

attempt to justify,
to find the words,
the courage,
or stupidity,
to let you know,
my reaction to you.

in searching for an answer,
one never to be found,
a question i cant,
a question i cant even form.

confused among strangers,
lost amongst myself.

I can relate, sounds like words I've heard not to long back.

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps

I cant think
I cant think of the word
the word to describe this

I, too, like the stanza Cpat chose, but that ending is so familiar, so...

too familiar
